Re: [libreoffice-users] inserting pdf into writer document

One question I have is how well is the PDF file protected from someone
doing a copy/paste from the document?

I know that some of the PDF files I have been given allowed me to
"export" or do something else to save an included image to an image
file.  Same with the text of some.

Now the big thing is what type of software you can get.  I know there
are packages out there that can take a PDF file and convert it back to a
.doc file.  I have seen them, but it was at least a year ago. 

Page/File splitting would work for some of what is needed.  A good PDF
reader/splitter may have some of the things needed.  Listed below is
CutePDF, but I am trying to remember if Foxit PDF software [reader] has
what you might need.  Linux has some good packages, but you need to use
Win7. 

The real key is how much of the original page format you want to keep.

The best option is find the PDF to DOC converters.  With a 200+ page
document, that may be the best solution in the long run.  But splitting
pages and working with only the ones you need can help the process along.
